This month I'd like to specially mention the first release of Stow in many years, thanks to much work by the new co-maintainer Adam Spiers and this month we welcome Pouya Kary as the new maintainer of GNU Gleem.

Earlier this week, the Mozilla Foundation published the Mozilla
Public License (MPL) version 2.0. This is a major update to their
flagship license, which covers most of the Foundation's own free
software projects, as well as others'.

The dates have been announced for our next conference -- March 24th and 25th 2012, at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. A call for papers has also been announced. The conference will include talks from
the FSF staff and board, GNU project contributors, and other members of the global free software community. I hope you will join us!
